and then he and joe biden will meet with new secretary of defense chuck hagel in the oval office and jay carney will have his press briefing around 12:45 today. you know, it is just not the same, not having bill around to go to the press briefings because if somebody hadn't asked about dennis rodman yesterday at the briefing bill would have been the guy to do it. you know he would have done it. that's sort of bill's jam. he gets those questions that nobody else is going to ask. when he's at the white house press briefing. so i imagine that the president will find time to take some calls during his travels today. and if he's got a window between 11:00 and 2:00 where he can maybe work with some congressional leaders to get something done on sequester and where we go from here. of course, we'll have it all covered here on current tv and on the "full court press." stay tuned. quick break. we'll be right back with "buzzfeed's" john stanton. >> announcer: this is the "bill press show."
